Watt and Congelliere did an I-5 tour together^[3] and afterwards Watt asked Congelliere to do a project with him.^[3]

Their debut album, Round One, was released by Recess Records on October 4, 2019.^[4] Watt wrote fifteen tracks on bass to a click track^[5] and sent them to Congelliere who added guitars and vocals.^[6] Congelliere felt that a fifteen track album would be overly long^[3] so it was split into two albums worth of songs.^[7]

Round One features a different drummer on each track^[4] such as Hole drummer Patty Schemel,^[7] Jimmy Felix (Toys That Kill),^[5] and Watt's other musical partners George Hurley,^[5] Jerry Trebotic,^[5] Raul Morales^[1] and Nick Aguilar.^[8] Four more albums are planned^[1] with live gigs after the albums are all released.^[3][9]
